Define accounting periods for straight-line depreciation of fixed assets
You can define 13 accounting periods to calculate straight-line depreciation. You must calculate depreciation daily and distribute it across the relevant periods. The FA - Projected Value report can use the periods you define on the Accounting Periods page.
Hinweis
To calculate depreciation by using both a 360-day year and a 365- or 366-day year, create separate depreciation books for the two methods. Attach these books to the relevant assets.

Hinweis
The report reads Use Accounting Period from the selected depreciation book. When the setting is on, Number of Days is cleared and made read-only. When the setting is off, you can specify the period length in Number of Days. The fiscal year length depends on the depreciation book settings, rather than always being 360 days.
